Joy for Miller in Tuam

Caption: The winner of the 2017 Connacht Under 16 Boys Open Championship which took place in Tuam Golf Club was Scott Miller, Clandeboye, Northern Ireland.

A best of the day +1 (73) from the young man from Clandeboye was enough to secure a one stroke winning margin over another Ulster player, Ben Crawford (Greenacres) with Joshua Hill (Galgorm Castle) left to rue three consecutive bogies to finish taking third 2 strokes back.

County Sligo's Daniel Ford pipped his fellow Connacht team mate Sam Murphy (Portumna) to the Best U15 accolade on the countback, both players finishing on +9 after the 36 Hole event. Pictured are the various Prize winners with Club and GUI Officials
